Outdoor Furniture and the Summer Challenge
Warm days and long afternoons are what make outdoor living spaces shine. But for outdoor furniture, summer brings more than just sunshine. Prolonged exposure to UV rays, extreme temperatures, and sudden humidity can damage materials over time. They may fade, crack, or wear out faster than expected.
That’s why it’s essential to choose outdoor furniture built with materials that handle the heat. When your pieces withstand the elements, you can focus on enjoying your space without worrying about constant upkeep.
Let’s explore four standout materials that are known to perform beautifully under the sun.
Teak has long been a top choice in outdoor furniture thanks to its ability to handle the elements with ease. Its natural oils provide protection against UV exposure, heat, and humidity, helping it stay solid and beautiful over time. While other woods may crack or warp under direct sun, teak remains stable, even in tropical or coastal settings.
Its visual appeal is just as impressive. With its rich tone and smooth grain, teak brings a warm, timeless character to any outdoor setting. You can let it age into a silvery finish or maintain its golden hue with occasional care. Either way, it always offers a sense of quiet luxury.
What makes teak even more valuable is its longevity. By choosing weather-resistant outdoor furniture like teak, you reduce the need for frequent replacements—minimizing material waste and supporting a more sustainable lifestyle.
At Otazen, we craft every piece from high-quality, kiln-dried teak. This ensures lasting performance and elegance that endures from season to season.
2. Powder-Coated Aluminum: Lightweight, Durable, and Rust-Free

When it comes to summer-ready outdoor furniture, powder-coated aluminum checks all the boxes. Its sleek, matte finish doesn’t just look good—it’s built to resist direct UV exposure and extreme heat. Thanks to exterior-grade polyester coating, the color stays rich and even, without fading or peeling, even after long days under the sun.
Humidity and sudden summer rain showers? Not a problem. The powder coating creates a water-resistant barrier that helps prevent rust and corrosion, making it especially reliable in tropical or coastal climates. It also resists light scratches and debris carried by the wind, keeping the surface looking smooth with minimal effort.
With its clean design and lightweight strength, powder-coated aluminum brings both form and function to outdoor spaces. From patios to rooftops, it offers durability without the bulk, and style without the stress of constant upkeep.
At Otazen, we apply high-quality powder coating using professional curing methods, so each piece performs beautifully—season after season, sun after sun.
3. Outdoor Fabrics: Sun-Resistant, Soft, and Stylish
Not all fabrics can handle the sun. But outdoor furniture calls for textiles that do more than just look good. That’s where performance fabrics like acrylic and olefin come in. With UV resistance, quick-dry properties, and soft textures, these fabrics stay vibrant and comfortable—season after season.
Whether you’re outfitting a modular sofa, a lounge daybed, or a set of cushions—these materials resist fading, mold, and everyday wear. They’re made to last in outdoor living. Even under direct sunlight or after a sudden summer shower, they bounce back beautifully without sacrificing comfort.
Sustainability also plays a key role in how we choose our outdoor fabrics at Otazen. By prioritizing durable, low-maintenance textiles, we help reduce the need for frequent replacements—minimizing fabric waste and supporting long-term environmental responsibility.
At Otazen, we carefully select outdoor fabrics that meet international standards for durability and design. The result is a collection that performs under pressure. It also brings a soft, inviting feel to open-air spaces.
4. Marble Tabletops: A Cool and Elegant Surface Option
There’s something effortlessly refined about marble. Its smooth surface and light-toned finish bring a calm, elevated feel to any outdoor furniture setting. While it may warm under direct sunlight, marble generally stays more comfortable to the touch than many synthetic materials—especially in shaded or semi-covered spaces.
It’s a natural fit for outdoor dining. With the right sealing and care, marble holds up well against temperature shifts and day-to-day use, all while adding timeless beauty to the layout.
At Otazen, we include marble surfaces in select outdoor tables, using professional finishes to help them perform outdoors while maintaining their elegant character.
